Alex Pereira next fight: Rumors Are Loud, but the Real Story Is Even Bigger

Posted on April 9, 2026 by A. J. Riot

Right now, the conversation around Alex Pereira next fight feels unusually sharp even by UFC standards. And the reason is straightforward enough. It’s not about defending a championship anymore or even about making up for a missed chance. Pereira has already surrendered his light heavyweight belt to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313, dominated in the rematch at UFC 320 with an early stoppage to regain his crown, and now has turned his back on 205 pounds to go after something never seen before in UFC, a title in his third weight class. His official game plan is set for June 14, 2026, when he will face Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight championship at UFC Freedom 250 on the grounds of the White House.

UFC 328 – Co-Main Event Preview

Posted on April 6, 2026 by Vitaliy Vovk

Flyweight Title Fight (125 lbs / 56.7 kg)

[#1 FW | #C UFC] Joshua Van (16-2-0) vs [#3 FW | #3 U C] Tatsuro Taira (18-1-0)

Prudential Center, Newark | May 9, 2026

Fight Breakdown

The UFC 327 co-main event features a high-stakes flyweight title clash between champion Joshua Van and rising contender Tatsuro Taira.

Van enters his first title defense under unusual circumstances, having captured the belt after Alexandre Pantoja suffered an early fight-ending injury. While the result officially crowned him champion, questions still linger regarding his legitimacy at the top of the division.

This bout represents a critical moment in Van’s career—a chance to validate his championship status with a definitive performance.

Meanwhile, Tatsuro Taira has quietly established himself as one of the most complete and dangerous fighters at 125 pounds. With elite grappling, positional dominance, and composure beyond his years, Taira presents a stylistic challenge that could expose the champion’s weaknesses.

The Title Fights That Could Flip UFC 2026

Posted on April 6, 2026 by A. J. Riot

The UFC title calendar in 2026 is already packed. Some divisions have new champions while others are waiting for a first title defense. One belt is vacant. Another could soon be pulled into a major unification fight. It’s the kind of year where the rankings can change fast, and where one win can turn a fighter into the biggest story of the year.

A few champions still look untouchable. Lightweight has a champion who is becoming a star very quickly. Middleweight has a titleholder who is finally in the spot people expected him to reach. Flyweight has a young champion who suddenly has the whole division chasing him. The light heavyweight is starting over. Heavyweight still has a real champion, but another huge fight is pulling attention in a different direction.

Current UFC betting markets are built mostly around moneylines, round totals, method of victory bets, and longer range title futures. The biggest live title prices on the board right now have Tatsuro Taira favored over Joshua Van for UFC 327 at around 4/7 to 6/4, while Jiří Procházka is a slight favorite over Carlos Ulberg at roughly 5/6 against 22/19 or 11/10.

UFC odds are still centered on simple win markets first, with totals, distance props, and finish props sitting right behind them as the most common options. Futures markets are also active this year, with Khamzat Chimaev priced as the favorite to still hold the middleweight belt by the end of 2026, while title holder markets are open across multiple divisions.

ROUSEY VS CARANO- FIGHTING FOR THE FREEDOM TO DEFINE THEIR LEGACIES

Posted on March 31, 2026 by Luis Vazquez

Two women of action built their reputations in the Octagon. One was a pioneer for women in fighting sports, while the other took that legacy and elevated it, bringing it to new heights. When they both fell from those lofty perches, they remained relevant by adapting to other forms of entertainment. One returned to the ring, following a script and telling a story, adapting seamlessly to the moment. The other brought her moves to a movie set, also telling stories in a different arena. Eventually, they found themselves on the outside looking in again. What they discovered was each other, and on May 16th, they will perform on the streaming service Netflix, returning to their roots.

UFC London Predictions

Posted on March 20, 2026 by Jack Latham

Main Card Predictions:

Kurtis Campbell vs Danny Silva

After securing a first-round TKO on Dana White’s Contender Series, Kurtis ‘The Pink Panther’ Campbell is set to make his UFC debut against the Brazilian Danny Silva.

Campbell is currently 8-0 as a professional MMA fighter, with the featherweight from Liverpool securing four knockout victories and one submission in his seven Full Contact Contender fights.

The ‘Pink Panther’ has a background in Muay Thai and won a world title when he was younger, creating a base for a successful MMA career.

His opponent, Danny Silva, made his UFC debut in March 2025, where he defeated Lucas Almeida via split decision.

Since then, he was defeated via unanimous decision by the rising prospect Kevin Vallejos, a great learning experience for Silva.

Silva has a primary base in boxing and likes to apply constant pressure to his opponents, combining strikes in the pocket with constant leg kicks.

This is a tough start to life in the UFC for Campbell, but I believe he can get the job done via a decision.

I think Campbell will try to keep his range from Silva and work off his jab, mixing in takedowns when the opportunity arises.

Silva may land some big strikes in the pocket exchanges, but I think Campbell will be more active in the fight, landing more consistently and causing more damage to his opponent.

UFC Fight Night: Gilbert Burns vs. Mike Malott — Full Preview & Prediction

Posted on March 20, 2026 by A. J. Riot

The battle between Burns vs. Malott will take place on April 18, 2026, at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The excitement around the UFC fight night has attracted a lot of individuals worldwide, including Neosurf casinos users. This battle will witness the return of high promotional media coverage to Winnipeg. This was once seen in 2013 when Rashad Evans beat Dean Henderson in the UFC 161 match.

Burns is a force on his own, as he is the former title challenger and currently ranks 11th in the welterweight division. Malott, on the other hand, will be coming into this battle to extend his winning run to 4 straight wins. This combination makes this UFC Fight Night matchup a battle to boost ego and show supremacy. It is going to be one of the most anticipated matchups in the 2026 UFC April Calendar.

TKO : Dana White’s Brutal March

Posted on March 18, 2026 by Andrew Carswell

@thewritingprofessor904

Boxing wars, political spectacle, fighter backlash, and a shifting media landscape collide for the UFC boss

At his weekly press conferences, Dana White constantly reminds us that he is in “a crazy business.” For most of the last two decades, Dana White has been the man delivering chaos to everyone else.

This March, chaos delivered itself to him.

Within weeks, the UFC president found his expanding combat-sports empire under pressure from multiple fronts: an escalating promotional feud with boxing power brokers, a highly public rebuke from former superstar Ronda Rousey, a last-minute fight cancellation on a historic card, mounting skepticism over the logistics and symbolism of a planned White House mega-event, and renewed scrutiny over fighter pay, which is an issue that refuses to stay buried.

Individually, these developments might have been manageable. Together, they painted the picture of a promoter facing the most turbulent stretch of his modern career.
